How battery charging led to a breakthrough in lithium recycling
A new method βrechargesβ battery waste material to release lithium. It eliminates the need for harsh chemicals and energy-intensive smelting, offering a valuable path for green energy transition.Malcolm Azania (New Atlas)

I want to know what's up with electric charging in Missouri
Its bad enough that we have very few chargers here, but the weird part is we're not getting any new. Seriously, was just checking a site showing new chargers in the area or coming, EVGo has four coming in, all on the Illinois side, on the Missouri side, the good news is we're getting three Ionna stations... The bad news is that two of them I know as replacements for current stations, a Francis energy at Wally's, and the chargers at Schnucks in Warrenton. I'd really like to know why we're not getting chargers, even companies like Circle K who has there own charging network, and is expanding here (I know of three new stations coming in), isn't installing any chargers at the new or existing stations. Ditto for WalMart who's building their own network.

DHS says REAL ID is too unreliable to confirm U.S. citizenship
Honestly I might not be against a central database considering my experience with the current system, where my AZ driver's license got suspended because my non-existent NJ driver's license got suspended. How does that work? The states all share data about licenses, but there's no oversight on the accuracy, got a problem, go deal with the agency that screwed up. At least with a central database, you only have one agency to deal with, and the local branch can fix it without you having to travel across the country to sort things out.

I wanna talk about me, I want to talk I...
Call me intersex, an andromorph, a pussy boy, but never, ever call me a cunt boy. Just a simple African wild dog, type 2 gender (suggestions for gender names welcome), sometimes top and/or dom, but always pretty chill.

As to the cboy term, I look at it as a somewhat derogatory word, though it has its place for those that that are sub or bottom, or like being referred to derogatorily.
Genders-
Male or female passing
Correct genitals, opposite genitals, or a bit of both

Let's see those tax brackets for billionaires.

Watching a video about an electric conversion
They're converting a Toyota pickup to electric, and according to them they do this all the time. If that's the case, the first five minutes of the video would make me never by anything from them, one of the problems was trying to use a model S accelerator pedal with a model 3 motor, and was surprised to find out it wasn't compatible... Umm, wouldn't you check that all the major components are compatible before starting a conversion?

Teslaβs 4680 battery supply chain collapses as partner writes down deal by 99% | Electrek
Honestly can't say I'm surprised, Tesla trying to invent a better battery cell? The whole thing was stupid from the beginning, even they had limited use for them, only one model, one model that's a failure. I suppose they thought that others would be interested, but changing any industry is hard, especially when the benefits are iffy at best.

Well today will be boring
Not working as they cancelled my shift, but honestly I was likely to do that as the forecast became clear, the original low was 16Β°F, its currently 19Β° feels like 4Β°, and my normal load time is about one hour ago. Yeah, while I might do some work #today , no package route for me, no way I'm trying to work for 6+ hours in this nonsense. And to think the high yesterday was in the 60's, maybe higher, typical St Louis winter.
Not sure what I'll do with m'self, cleaned out the closet finally yesterday, most of Vik's ( @Vik-Thor / Lirleni Hankeshe ) clothes are boxed up to donate with the exception of a few things that I added to my wardrobe and a few special items to sell. Fri? Sat? Whichever, I finalized the conversion project of his 401K to an inherited IRA in my main account. Bills were paid yesterday, including county, well, property tax, for some reason they're showing me as not owing any personal property tax for some reason, I do need to sort that out.
I will be continuing to clean out my emails, we're under 1K messages and started at over 2K, mostly stuff that should've been deleted, but I was being lazy. Need to do some last comic and book pulls, and then figure out who to sell most of the collection to. Have lots of stuff to pack and send, but its cold, so that'll prolly wait until I man up and go outside. Will prolly move my car back to its usual spot in front of the gate, moved it so the room mate could get his truck out now that its running again, he blew up the transmission and had to install a new one which took 6 weeks or so, unusually fast for him, as he was doing other work at the same time, plus he's not as good as he thinks he is on repair work.
Anyone know a good charity in #STL to donate clothing too? Lots of men's clothes, but I also have a fair number of totes in the shed of women's clothing and shoes that should still be in good shape.
